Last weekend Syrian terror gangs fired rounds of poison gas shells into the city of Aleppo.
The response of Syria’s Russian ally was swift and decisive. The Russian
air-force delivered a massive blow to the Nusra Front that launched the
gas attack. All the targets were in Idlib province where the sectarian
militias operate under the protection of the Turkish army. The fact that
Turkey okayed the Russian action proves that the terror attack had,
indeed, been carried out by the Syrian branch of Al Qaeda, which the
Turks do not support.
But the response in the imperialist media was predictably to cast doubt
on the reports and suggest that it may have been a “false flag” stunt by
the Syrian authorities themselves. Not a word of reproach was heard
from the media gurus who had called for “regime change” and cheered on
the brutal sectarian militias that were financed and armed by NATO and
the feudal Arab oil princes in a bid to overthrow the legitimate Syrian
government.
Some of those who pose as “left” continue to praise the “White Helmets”
and other agents of imperialism that serve Washington in the Middle
East. Some of these people argue that there is a benevolent role to
imperialist intervention in the Middle East and Afghanistan along the
same lines as Tony Blair, whose views that pretend to despise.
We have to be clear on this. The primary contradiction in the world
today is between United States imperialism and the rest of the world it
seeks to dominate. Anglo-American and Franco-German imperialism are the
greatest threats to world peace.
The labour and peace movement needs to mobilise to halt the
imperialist-inspired intervention in Yemen and a possible attack by the
US and its lackeys on Iran.
